ecobiology How does the skin fulfil its “barrier function”? How do you select your ingredients? Do you test your products on animals? What is a micelle? Does micellar water need to be rinsed off? Where are your products made? Are your formulations biodegradable? Do you measure the impact of your sun care products on coral? Why do you use plastic packaging? What does INCI mean? What does “galenic” mean? What is an emulsion?

What is ecobiology?

Driven by NAOS for more than 40 years, Ecobiology is an approach that combines skin biology and skin ecology and that relies on 4 principles:

1.           Consider skin as an ecosystem, full of living cells interacting together and with their environment. In order to leave a positive footprint in this ecosystem, we prefer pure ingredients, rightly dosed, and naturally assimilated.

2.           Interact with skin natural mechanisms, only when needed, to help the skin to adapt and find its balance itself.

3.           Understand and act on the root causes of skin imbalances, as well as their consequences, to provide a lasting efficacy,

4.           Be driven by biomimetism, observe what nature does best to develop effective and sustainable solutions.

We believe in Ecobiology to help the skin live according to its natural biology, in a lasting way.
